Las smart grids combinan áreas que antes no se encontraban en las redes eléctricas convencionales, como son los sistemas de comunicaciones o los sistemas inteligentes de toma de decisiones.
Sin estas áreas, la integración de fuentes alternas de energía a las redes eléctricas estarían incompletas y no se podrían explotar de la manera eficiente.
Por esta razón es necesario conocer cómo una smart grid se interconecta con los dispositivos inteligentes de casas o edificios en el IoT o Internet de las cosas, que al igual que las compañías de energía pueden suministrar, administrar y vender la energía eléctrica producida.
En este curso el estudiante comprenderá el concepto de red inteligente analizando sus capas inferiores, profundizará en la generación de energía eólica y energía solar de manera experimental y teórica cuando se interconectan a la red inteligente, además podrá comprender la función de los sistemas eléctricos de potencia en las redes inteligentes.
A partir de este MOOC el estudiante podrá:
Profundizar en el conocimiento de sistemas eléctricos de potencia
Analizar cómo cambian los escenarios energéticos a partir de las smart grid, las cuales predominarán en unos cuantos años y permitirán volvernos consumidores y generadores de energía eléctrica.
La seguridad, en este caso la ciberseguridad, es fundamental en el smard grid, en este curso conoceremos las características de seguridad más relevantes en las redes inteligentes.
This course is part of the Sustentabilidad energética y la smart grid Professional Certificate.
